Haha, such good info you had to post twice?

Found a bolt in my truck (probably from something I did on my Neon that got transferred over... or my seat is going to fall out, not sure) and it worked perfectly to bolt my oil filter trapdoor closed. So I tightened that up a bit and now I don't have flappy door syndrome.

Ok, thanks for the info litterbug. I was wondering the best way to route the wires. But in the grille sounds as good as any. I picked up the relay today and am still planning on going to hf to get the lights saturday. Hopefully irene doesn't hit us over here.

im going to eventually get 4 of them and put them on my roof. i already have 2 KCs on my brush guard. one is cracked so it kinda rattles. i should probably call KC and complain but im too lazy. lol
Driving lights or fog lights? <edit> nevermind, you'd never mount driving or fog lights on the roof, I missed that part lol
The Piaa 520i fog lights I have are amazing!
The 1st pic is just the low beams. The garbage cans are about 100' & the house across the street about 200'+. Look at the difference with the Piaa's, even the sheds by the house, snowbanks on the right of the pic are lit up.
It's a far reaching narrow but wide beam they put out & are amazing in my opinion.
I got the complete kit with relay, illuminated switch, wiring harness etc for about $200 awhile back.
Pay attention to where you're mounting lights if they're going to be IN the grille guard! Some lights may not fit after they're mounted on the bolt &/or mounting brackets.
You have to pay attention to the total height of the opening & the total height of the mounted light.

I have work tomorrow ugh. Worked from 7am - 4:45 today, no breaks. A totally insane mad rush day & just kept going, loading 4 trucks, unloading others & looking at my blazer sitting there & my bassboat on the other side of the lot.
What have I gotten done on my blazer today? Today I almost cried over it lol I wanted to take the boat out & get the (insert 4 letter word ____ <---here) out of there!
John, what about detailing, paint touch-ups, cleaning, alchohol cleaning the wipers, making the glass streak free, getting the cleaners & rags & going over the engine, vacuuming it. All things that are free or you probably have the supplies on hand. Doing that will get a feeling of accomplishment & feels DAMN good to drive knowing it's all done up.
Rottidog is wise - beyond his beers.

ohhhh and i did try the fix for the cold solders on the wiper motor again. it didnt work the first time and it seems to have worked this time... i hope... im sick of having wipers that start and stop in the middle of my windshield. going to cause me to crash one of these days.

I finally got around to replacing the spark plugs, wires, cap, and rotor. I've had the stuff for about a year and I finally decided to do it. Then I came to the conclusion, O'reilly's had given me the wrong plugs! I looked up the number but all the box said was #8. So I took them in and they didn't know what the plugs would fit so they exchanged them for the platinum AC Delcos. After about 6 or so hours total and lots of swearing, I got it all done. Then went and acquired a free TV that is still in the back. I had wanted to detail it today, but the plugs took so long I couldn't
